WASHINGTON. D. C, Sept. 10
Those who have peeked At that sam
pie test poll recently conducted con
fidentially by a
national m a g a
rlne are passing
the word around
that It shows a
decline In Presi
dent Roosevelt'a
majority.
The President
polled 61 per cent
of the vote orig
inally, but on tho
sample recheck
h had only
about 50 per cent,
. according to Paal Mailon
these creditable sources.
The vote will not be made public,
and there is some doubt as to its
Talue. At any rate, those who con
ducted It for their own information
have decided the figures do not war
rant & whole new poll at this time.
These sample rechecks Involve only
10,000 votes, in comparison with l.
700,000 In the general poll. Although
the 10,000 names are carefully select
ed there la so much room for error
that definite deductions are not war
ranted. The beet American Legion sources
are whispering that Frank Belgrano
of California probably will be next
national commander. He la a Repub
lican, but hia campaign haa been free
from political partisanship. His pals
aay he will come out shortly with i
statement scolding the Legion king'
makers for partisan efforts. They be
lleve hla administration will be l
quare-ahootlng one. which will do
the Legion more good than an anti-
Kew Deal administration.
One thing which la giving Wall
Street the Jlttere Is the Inside talk
' about a new central bank. The word
Is being passed around that Mr. Mor
genthaus freshman team of brain
trusters la working on a definite cen
tral bank plan; that the administra
tion will not champion the plan, but
will permit It to be Introduced by a
Democratic congressman at the com
ing session of congress, and slipped
through.
It Is an Interesting story, but It
does not appear to be true. The brain
trusters may have some auch idea,
tout responsible treasury officials are
proceeding along different Unea.
They will probably recommend to
congress two modifications of the
federal reserve act. one to give the
board the veto power over selection of
governors of various federal reserre
banks, and the other to set up an
open market committee within the
federal reserve system. With these
two steps, the best administration
authorities believe they can control
credit and money Just as efficiently
fc as by setting up a whole new central
bank.
The federal troops were nearly
called out In the Rhode Island strike
without Acting Secretary of War
Wodrlng knowing anything about It.
Mr. Roosevelt called war Secretary
Dern, who waa In Boston, and Dern
got hold of Chief of Staff MacArthur.
They all overlooked Mr. Woodrlng
completely. He was In MacArthur'a
office when the Dern call came
through, but Dern did not talk with
him and switched the call to Mao
Arthur'a home.
The war department was excited.
MscArthur aped to the depsrtment
hurriedly summoned a meeting of the
army high command. Telephone calla
went out to the commanders of the
first and aecond corps areas. Pour
thousand troops were ordered to
stsnd by. Msneuvers were canceled.
Troopa rushed back to barracks. And
still no one Informed the acting sec
retary of war. Some time later, newa
men wandered Into hla office and
brought him the first word of what
waa going on.
Woodring's desk' haa not been piled
, high with papers and his telephone
line haa not been overworked since
his Liberty msazlne article about
making "economic atorm troops" out
of the CCC boys.
The quietest agency of the whole
new deal la the consumers' advisory
board of NRA. It haa taken little
part In recent code hearings and it Is
openly treated as a atepchlld by Oen
eral Johnwn s aides. The only time
you hear of It la when it offera
weekly talks over a radio network
under the sponsorship of the general
federation of women's clubs.
Agriculture Secretary Wallace's a

Lieut. H. A. Stanley, U. S. N., re
tired, on the Crater lake highway,
the two men having served together
In Guam from 1936 to 19W, when
Lieut! Stanley waa the governor's aide.
The two, with Mrs. Shapely and Mrs.

The Shapelys and the Stanleys have
all traveled extenatvely In the South

of the Rogue valley pleasant enough
to suffice until their return.
